Often little more than a strap of leather, the belt is an item of clothing typically worn around the waist. Larger versions — referred to as bandoliers — may be worn across the shoulder.

Primarily used for keeping one's pants from falling, belts are highly customizable and come in varying sizes and colors. They are a staple of many sentient outfits, from the fearsome Sith to the ignoble builder.

Belts can also be used for storage. Holsters and pouches can be added by a skilled tinkerer to allow the wearer to carry a holdout blaster, or any number of small items. For a larger capacity, belt-wearers typically choose a heavy belt or specialized variations, such as a tool belt.
